This is kind of an odd sign because it's basically an advertisement of the event we're at. And there were a ton of them - people clearly just grabbed the flyers and put them on a stick and were done.

There were a lot more mixed-language instead of Spanish-only signs like you get sometime, so I'm not going to bother to repeat the translation when it's redundant or generally obvious.

These two guys with the flags are what CNN used to illustrate the march (from more of a straight-on angle). Do you think just a picture of those two guys would be a fair representation given what you've seen so far?
